Wicked Wiggler Get The Golden Boys "Whiskey Flower" album first. And it will be a logical step that you will pick up this one here next. Wahoo, they even pimp a John Wesley Coleman solo track and that fits perfect. Favorite track: Steal My Mind.

about

GET BENT
I’m not sure what growing up was like for everyone (for obvious reasons), but I remember rock ‘n’ roll radio. Hearing that slight crackle of AM radio*, fantastic tones from eras I was too young to have lived in, but old enough to feel a part of. Dirty Fingernails, acts like a half hour window into that beautiful bygone world.“California” is an organ-laden anthem for a warm summer day. Shades of REIGNING SOUND are littered throughout; I highly recommend this ditty for your next road trip mixtape. “Run Away” demonstrates the incessant power of the GOLDEN BOYS. Not many make this style of rock music anymore. Music with feeling and color, tears and warmth, and just damn great playing. The GOLDEN BOYS are most definitely seasoned players, easily blending the greatest of rock’s historical genres to paramount listener satisfaction. If you can’t tap your toes to or get pulled into the honest sentiment of the title track “Dirty Fingernails”, have a plot prepared.“Outta the Dark” treads into COMPULSIVE GAMBLERS territory. A juke joint melody for the masses. “Older than You” rolls with such a powerful tide of rock soul. I can imagine this song getting hummed in the collective minds of millions; it’s got a relentlessly catchy melody and a steamy soulful backbone. “Sidewalk” is a 70s Stones-E™ masterpiece. It would fit somewhere in the Goat’s Head Soup-era or Oscar Robertson prime NBA era (if you look at things in this manner.

RAZORCAKE
"This record presents them as kind of like a less refined, more musically raw answer to modern garage rock elder statesmen REIGNING SOUND, while at the same time giving a nod to the hooky pop of ELVIS COSTELLO And The ATTRACTIONS...Dirty Fingernails is easily on my top five records of 2012 so far, and I predict it’s there to stay. It’s an instant classic and gets my highest recommendation".

AUSTIN CHRONICLE
"Punk in spirit, rifling through dirty R&B, outlaw country, and vintage pop, Austin's the Golden Boys embody every great idiom of rock & roll."

Raw, loud, unapologetic and it shouldn’t be any other way. I was surprised when it arrived- way earlier than the 11/12 date I was told- chocked full of swag and a free comp cd! Not to mention the 7” as well. This is the way vinyl should be. jerkybillthecat

Do The Get Around LP
by Gino And The Goons

supported by 4 fans who also own “GOLDEN BOYS - Dirty Fingernails”

SAMF is just dirty & raw with some great punk rock hooks. its a great little song. other standouts for me were Do the Get Around and I'm Your Man. the entire album is enjoyable and fun. I'm even ok with going so far as to call myself a newly discovered Gino and the Goons fan. a few years late on the scene but have been collecting and spinning their vinyl religiously for at least the last 5+ years and i still get excited when new vinyl drops... punkrock1972bp
